We're dividing 509967 by 72 
We want to figure out the number of times 509967 can be divided by 72.

Advancing to step 1:
72 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 72

Step 2:
The number 72 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 509 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
509 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 504 away from 509, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 72

On to step 4:
When dividing 59 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 59.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 59 leaves us with 59.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 596 / 72

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 596 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 708.0
If we subtract 576 from 596, we get 20.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 207 / 72

On to step 6:
When dividing 207 by 72, we get 2 with a remainder of 63.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7082.0
If we subtract 144 from 207, we get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
630 divided by 72 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7082.8
If we take 576 away from 630, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
540 divided by 72 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7082.87
Deduct 504 from 540 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 360 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 7082.875
Deduct 360 from 360 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
72 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7082.875
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
0 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7082.875
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7082.875 with a balance of 0.0.
